When we watched this video of a Cleveland newscast about a wild black bear on the loose in a local neighborhood, we didn't believe it was real. But it turns out that Todd Meany is an actual reporter at Fox News 8 -- somebody get this guy a Peabody award for outstanding cardboard cut-out bear reporting. This is possibly our new favorite video. Sorry Rodney Stanger.

AOL has a misleading headline on its main page. It makes it look like the Fox Network, not a local Fox station did this. AOL looks like it's trying to make FNC or the Fox Network look bad. Very misleading.

That is par for the course with AOL... will take stories about local FOX affiliates and male it sound like it's FOX News Network... So laughable that the Dems have 99% of the mainstream media in their pocket, yet they still feel so threatened by one singular cable network.

Trust me aol does not need to make fox news look bad or fake,Fox news already does a great job at that with their one sided,non factual,Opinionated reporting they do.

That is undoubtedly the finest piece of reporting I have ever seen on FOX fake news. In fact that is the most accurate and factual thing I believe they have ever done on FOX and I for one believe they deserve a "FOX faux Pulitzer" or something for their dedication and effort and showing they go the extra mile. The rabbit was only so so but the bear was hot.

Seems right on par with just about every other AOL top news story.

Right - AOL just hungers to find something wrong with FOX. This was just a local thing and they tried to pin it on the network. AOL just loaths FOX and it's pitiful as FOX runs circles around AOL when it comes to honesty.

Isn't it amazing that stations like MSNBC are never targeted even though they have (beyond the doubt) the biggest haters (Hear that, Keith, Ed, Rachel ?)...and, while they still insist on targeting ONLY conservatives, they make excuses for or fail to even cover the tax cheats, commies & total nut-jobs in the Democratic Party. At least Fox puts Liberal Democrats on their shows to present the other side to viewers. Only cowards ridicule the other side without the guts to face them on the air.

Oh, so Rush, Hannity, Savage, Bill-o and all the rest of the conservatives on EIB, Fakes News, The Washington Times and Unclear Channel do not ridicule and won't face the other side. I think I know who the nut-job is and who has had a maybe one cup too many of the right-wing kool-aid.
Sorry that the right wing wackos cannot have every single media outlet there is. Someone has to be "fair and balanced", and it certainly isn't any of the entities listed above. Hannity doesn't twist words to his advantage. Savage doesn't spew hate, You know what, maybe you need one final cup of kool-aid. Keep drinking it up.

Hey Rob Msnbc is never targeted because they do not lie..They simply point out each and every Lie that fox news host's put out there.News organizations are supposed to REPORT the news not MAKE up news..Fox makes up news and that is why msnbc tears them a new asshole every single day.

I notice that the Liberals allways use terms from conseratives in their pitifull defence on the issues, smartgurl here proves that to the tee. Her statemement about drinking the Cool-aid.
Hey Gurl, "Drinking the Cool-aid" came from all the Left wing Groupy followers of Jim Jones who had a collection of brain dead followers who couldn't think for themselves, and they gulped the poisened cool-aid down
and they all stank so bad the next week that all the animals left the area.
nice going there Gurl, whoever you listen to, you are a faithfull follower, but mabey your side could be orgional and come up with something new for a change. like, think it up all by your selves?

This ranks right up there with all the Global Warming stupidity. Come on America, there are other species roaming this earth than just us. Some good and some bad. These news media thunderheads must have all grown up in NY City. Its that startling to see a bear? And I'll bet you a free lunch at your favorite drive up, that they all think the world is overcrowded.

I don't know how those clowns at the FOX NETWORK can utter the words out of their mouths and keep a straight face while doing so, because I sure as hell can't if I chose to listen to them...LOL. Some of the copy is so bizarre.
And most of the "commentators" appear to have an auditory processing deficit, usually seen is Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Disorder, and similar learning disabilites affecting comprehension. All one had to do was listen to Hannity's comments after the President's speech the other night...Sean appears to have difficulty remembering information that has been presented orally., unless he prefers to distort the truth?
